Correction she was 9 weeks when I got her and had been weaned for a week. So from week 8-9 she was being weaned. She is on mazuri pellets, and oxbow Timothy and bottled water as well as a teaspoon of Ryerson supplement a day.

I recently got a new kit and noticed she has been losing weight. When I got her at 8 weeks she was 298g. I weighed her at home a few days ago and it was 228g, I figured it might be a different scale, mine is old and might not be calibrated. Today it was 208g so I know it's going down. She is...

So SDHS got 100k for their care. And somehow has managed to rehome almost all of them already. If only that money could go to the legit chin rescues in the area, so they can have money when these chins come to them in a few months....I feel almost none of that money is going to go to chins. They...

I wonder if they transitioned their feed or just started a new food cold turkey. Poor chins. I glanced at the fb page and have seen other comments. " Lets get one...or five!". Seems like they are the next big thing now. My friend up here in NY are now talking about them on fb. How cute they are...

I can ask for pics of the parents. I understand that ebony genes are not hetero or homozygous, I looked back and the kit is listed as an extra dark ebony not a "****". Though he may be a dark not extra dark as you've said. I was just wondering if anyone had heard of this type of thing before...

I know, here is a pic. That is my exact question. Both parents are indeed violets, dad being an ebony carrier. And they had this.

I am just curious at the moment. More breeder, I am hoping to begin working with ebonies and violets.

Both parents are violets. Not carriers. I know ebony can be carried down the line, without showing. But as Narissus said the kit is a **** ebony not a violet wrap.

I was talking to a breeder about a kit she had last week and was curious about the genetics, and if anyone had heard of something like this before. I placed a deposit on a **** ebony v/c male. Now both of his parents were violet! His paternal grandfather was a dark violet wrap but that is the...

When do you think you will have the other adults and kits listed?

I just bought my second ferret nation, I got my first one on Black Friday a few years ago and recently found one on craiglist for 80$! It is a two story, 142. It was used by a groomer and is kinda beat up. Some spots being rusted, does anyone have experience with cleaning cages like this and...

What is your favorite thing about chins? Is it the soft fur that's like petting a cloud? The cute chubby faces? Psychotic episodes? Dust baths? Just what's makes these little fuzzies so wonderful to you?

I forgot to put blue diamond in the poll x.x I knew I forgot something! I also put in Angora and locken I know they are not colors but as new mutations *wink wink* I love the angoras.

I am aware this has likely been done a lot. But I thought a recent poll might be fun! What is your favorite color? Or dream chinchilla? If price did not factor in, and it was guaranteed to have a food temperament and most importantly be free of genetic issues

I got my first chins when I was 16, I am now 21 haha. Great pet to have in high school, everyone especially the girls loved to see pics and everyone wanted to come over to pet them. Thankfully mind were super tame and loved the attention and scritches.

Recently got my two dream chins. A violet wrap and a **** ebony. Lol I am in love with violet wraps though.

I use the new Silver Surfer in Deja Blue ( it's blue in color only difference) I found it to he cheaper than the chin spin. I got mine for around 80$ on ebay including shipping. They love it. It's not silent but they have their own room on my home so it doesn't bother anyone. The ladies love it.

Some more taken by their breeder

Both are from Susan Lamb of Chincherubs. Qwerty is the sweetest **** ebony, she rides around on my shoulders and snuggles against my neck when I read. As can be seen she lives up to her name and loves watching the ipad. ( she is named Qwerty like a keyboard). She will hopefully get big. She was...
